Fayetteville, to be tried for his life for
burglary at the residence OF Major
Jonathan Evans, in Cumberland county.

the electric light. Water will furnish the

There is a good deal of indignant
comment on an article in the Green's
boro' Republican paper, the North
State, urging the Republican clerks OF
the Superior Court to refuse to swear
in any Of the magistrates appointed by
the late Legislature. This is bold and
bad advice, which the clerks would not
dare to follow. Such action on their
part would result very seriously to
them. The Republicans, angry at the
manner in which the Democrats
whipped them ont, would like to resort
to any means to secure their ends.
They wished the Republicans clerks to
have the opportunity of appointing the
magistrates. OF course they would
have appointed Republicans.

well, a white man, who was to have
